Chapter 159: Flame Chariot
After completing the artifact upgrade, the system finally counted the rankings.
The South Division finished third, but narrowly missed out on the East Division.
Fortunately, before Michelle's light-speed impact, the adventurers had already killed most of the Force warriors, so that when the light-speed explosion happened, there were not many points to be gained, otherwise everyone would have to go crazy with the change of points.
In addition, there is an additional bonus that no one expected.
Gentle told Shen Yi that while she subdued the members of the Minsk Brotherhood, she also looted a considerable part of the organization's scientific and technological equipment by the way - in order to equip the warship, the Minsk Brotherhood had sent a large number of people to collect the battleship's firepower earlier.
Before Tatooine collapsed, Gentle asked the Minsk Brotherhood to bring this batch of equipment with him, and signed an unconditional ownership agreement, which is equivalent to taking his entire net worth to others as slaves, but he can extort enough of these guys, and the side effect is that the loyalty of these guys is obviously insufficient, but Gentle has the confidence to subdue them one by one.
Of course, the bloody points that should be paid for subduing these guys still had to be paid, and due to the overnumbering relationship, Gentle was forced to apply for an expanded medal, so that the second team could accommodate 4,800 people, before most of the bandits were collected.
For this Broken Blade team, he paid a lot of bloody points, plus the 100,000 that he had previously purchased the team medal, paid 100,000 to other adventurers, and upgraded the immortal bird 80,000, which cost almost 800,000 before and after, which is why Shen Yi and the others only got more than 3.1 million - nearly one million were spent in the mission world, and the cost of the ticket was used here.
However, this has brought about a dramatic expansion of the strength of the Broken Blade team, and from now on, they no longer have to worry about the lack of manpower in the Great Universe Project.
After the statistics were completed, everyone returned to the city.
Shen Yi saw that Cliff was already waiting for them in the square.
Shen Yi smiled and said, "Congratulations, from now on, you will be the leader of the Purgatory Sect." ”
This was the glory that Cliff dreamed of, but instead of the joy of success on Cliff's face, he shook his head with a wry smile: "This is no longer a good thing." ”
yes, that's not a good thing anymore.
Shen Yi can fully understand Cliff's mood at the moment - Edmund's last behavior has brought great trouble to the Purgatory Sect, and the current Supreme Council looks at the Purgatory Sect, so it must not be pleasing to the eye, right?
Although it is said that this is Edmund's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Sect of Purgatory, there are some things that don't matter if you say it's okay. Rebellion is a great crime no matter what dynasty, generation, or environment, and a rebellion is often accompanied by a bloody purge, and in order to consolidate the rule, the rulers have always preferred to kill the wrong ones.
Even if the Supreme Council is clear and will not kill innocents, anger against Edmund is often transferred to those associated with him.
In 1985, a Chinese official defected, leading to the arrest of China's highest-ranking spy at the time, and one of his brothers was greatly affected by the subsequent defeat at the election convention, only to regain his resurgence after years of silence, because the hatred of the defector was nowhere to be vented by the deputies of the National People's Congress at the time......
The so-called anger comes from this.
If you want to say that you are wronged, you want to say that you are not wronged, and you are not wronged.
While Cliff himself may not be okay due to his opposition to Edmund, it is likely that the entire Sect of Purgatory will be significantly affected by this, which is also unacceptable to Cliff.
People compete for power because power can bring glory, wealth, and great power to themselves, and if power loses this function, then it also loses the meaning of contention. In this respect, the easiest way to judge the quality of a system is not by the form in which it is manifested, but by how popular it is...... Whether it's democracy, empire or whatever, it's all the same.
Edmund's rebellion casts a thick shadow over the future of the Sect of Purgatory, and as the Sect Master, Cliff is destined to carry a heavy burden, which is definitely not what he wants, and it is no wonder that his face is so bad now.
"It's not all bad. Shen Yi comforted him and said, "You can just take the opportunity to integrate." ”
Even if Edmund died, it would not be easy for Cliff to become the leader.
Although the Sect of Purgatory is dominated by the Dane family, other forces are not without opportunities to speak, and Affleck and Palma are the most obvious examples.
But now that the position of the leader of the Purgatory Sect has become a hot potato, it is estimated that not many people are interested in it anymore. Originally, Cliff had a series of follow-up plans to settle the needs of other forces after Edmund's death, but now it seems that they can all be saved.
At this moment, when Shen Yi said this, Cliff was also stunned, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and nodded: "This is a little luck in misfortune, but it can't change the overall situation." If the Supreme Council doesn't change its opinion of the Purgatory Sect, even if everyone agrees with me as the sect leader, it will be meaningless, and it will only cause trouble for myself. ”
"Then what are you going to do?" asked Shen Yi.
Cliff flipped his wrist, and four things appeared in his hand.
The spear of Longinus, the Flame Chariot, the Pangu Axe, the Holy Dragon Warframe.
After Edmund's death, these four pieces of equipment that originally belonged to the Purgatory Sect were returned to Cliff's hands, and in addition to the Holy Dragon Battle Armor, the other three were all artifact-level.
Cliff took out these four pieces of equipment at once, and Shen Yi was also flustered.
Cliff said, "I know that you have a good relationship with the Supreme Council, and I need you to help me make the Supreme Council give up pursuing the Purgatory Sect on this matter." If you can do me a favor, you can choose two of these four pieces of equipment at will, based on the value of the flame chariot, 30,000 points for the spear of Longinus, 50,000 points for the Pangu Axe, and 100,000 points for the Holy Dragon Armor. ”
"Forget it, I don't have that much ability. Shen Yi shook his head with a smile.
Not to mention that he had already used up that reasonable claim, and even if he hadn't used it, he wouldn't have been involved in such a thing.
Don't look at Shen Yi every time he cares about interests and the Supreme Council, that's because he never touches the bottom line of the Supreme Council - for the Supreme Council, the problem of money is always the smallest problem, and rules and rebellion are the big problems.
Cliff gave him a lot of leverage, but he didn't accept two of the highest councils, let alone two, all four.
Just the loss caused by the cancellation of the self-made world, these artifacts are not enough to compensate.
"Shen Yi!" Cliff was also anxious: "Now the Purgatory Sect is no longer your enemy, the Purgatory Sect has accumulated for a hundred years, help me and yourself!"
Shen Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally replied, "I can only help you come up with an idea, maybe it will have some effect." ”
"What's the idea?"
"There must be an outlet for the anger of the Supreme Council, which cannot be stopped, but how it is vented and to whom it is vented may not be impossible to change. You're lucky that the Cult of Purgatory is an organization, not a single person, which means that some people may take on more, others may take on less......"
Cliff took a deep breath.
Shen Yi is asking him to stab himself.
Seeing Cliff's shocked face, Shen Yi patted Cliff: "Chop the flesh to cure the sores, the strong man broke his wrist, I have to do it...... Anyway, some people in the sect may not be convinced by you, in that case, wouldn't it be nice to simply use the Supreme Council to purge once? If you don't want to be angered, take the initiative to pick up the butcher's knife, you must prove to the Supreme Council that the Purgatory Sect will be a loyal dog in your hands!"
Cliff closed his eyes helplessly: "I've struggled until now, I just don't want to be a dog, and now I have to go back again?"
Shen Yi smiled: "Don't be so sad, some people want to be dogs and haven't done it yet." By the way, the new sect leader is in power, and by the way, let's also visit the two districts in the northeast, with their help, if not completely extinguish the anger of the Supreme Council, at least the purgatory sect can bear it. The rest ...... It depends on the time. A hundred years of development, as long as it is not overthrown, there will always be a time to make a comeback. ”
Cliff glanced at Shen Yi deeply, and he suddenly threw the flame chariot to Shen Yi: "Thank you for your suggestion, this is yours." ”
In a word, in exchange for a highest-value artifact, Shen Yi was also slightly stunned.
But he soon realized that this was a sign of Cliff's complete disconnection with the past.
The Immortal Bird is the symbol of the Dane family, and the Flame Chariot is the most iconic artifact of the Purgatory Sect, and giving it up means giving up the Immortal Bird and the family.
If the Purgatory Sect wants to be reborn, the first thing it needs to get rid of is the burden of the family.
Cliff is demonstrating this in action.
Of course, when he gave Shen Yi the flame chariot, he probably also meant to pull people into the water - he was hinting at the Supreme Council's friendship with Shen Yi.
This is equivalent to letting Shen Yi help him share part of his anger, but this part of the dissatisfaction is nothing compared to the value of the flame chariot itself.
Flame Chariot: A chariot pulled by nine phantom immortals, with the ability to fly.
Built-in skill 1 Undead Bird Attack: Nine Phantom Undead Birds can attack the target, but they cannot use any skills, and they are affected by the route and vehicle during the flight, so they cannot change direction freely. Attacks will result in death, but will be revived after one day unless all nine undead birds die.
Comes with Skill 2 Reflection Aura: Reflects 20% of attacks, which can be stacked with most of the rebound ability, but no more than 90%.
Comes with Skill 3 Charge Aura: When the Flame Chariot charges, it can increase the attack damage of adventurers on the vehicle by up to 50%. At the same time, the Flame Chariot itself also has charge damage, and the specific value of charge damage depends on the charge speed, but the maximum damage will not exceed 1,000 points, and it can cause three times the effect on construction machinery.
Built-in Skill 4 Resistance Aura: Reduces the damage taken by the adventurer by 20%, and can stack with most damage reductions, up to a maximum of 90%.
Built-in Skill 5 Solid Barrier: After activation, create an invisible barrier to absorb damage for adventurers in the car, and the absorbed damage is transferred to the nine Phantom Undead Birds for a duration of one minute, which can only be used once a day.
To wield this vehicle, you must have the Immortal Bird bloodline.
Seeing this last sentence, Shen Yi set his eyes on the fat man.
